The baggage is dropped at one of the self-bag drop systems in the second step.
By splitting the process, the airport aims to cut down waiting time and facilitate traffic flow at peak periods.
The systems at the airport will be deployed in various phases throughout the year.
Materna IPS managing director Dr Georg Oschmann said: “I’m convinced that adding Materna IPS self- service technologies will complete the forward-looking strategy of the Düsseldorf airport.”
